    Dateformat refuses to change?

    Hi and thanks in advance for reading this!

    I have a bunch of dates that seems to be just text but I cant seem to get it to become a datevalue regardless of what I try to do.

    The dates are in range N2:N7602 and they look like this:

    11/29/2018
    7/9/2018
    12/10/2018
    4/27/2018


    What can I do in order to get them to become a datevalue? Since i need them to be formatted as: YYYY-MM-DD aswell

    Any help is highly appriciated, I cant find a guide online that works either using Text to column or format cells.

    Thank you in advance!
